    her own. Through a se-

    ries of comic adventures

    Our new sanctuary chairs have been ordered! As approved by the SLT,

     when we reached 1/2 of our needed funds, we’d be able to place an or-der for 250 chairs. Thanks to your speedy and awesome generosity, we

    have done just that! NOW, we need to finish raising the remainder so

     we can close out this debt in short order! Each chair is $61.90 and if

    you are able to contribute that amount, or more, (perhaps one for each

    family member?), it would certainly be appreciated.

     The chairs will be tan in color, have a book rack under each, and a place

    to put a communion cup.

    It will take about 14 weeks to manufacture the

    chairs and fulfill our order. We anticipate an

    arrival date sometime the end of August ornear Labor Day.

    If you have questions, please contact the

    church office, or Wendy Wheeler, Facilities

    Steward, 393-3688.

    Thank you!

    Dear First Baptist Church Family,

     Thank you for the wonderful reception you gave on Sunday, May 22. I was encouraged by your

     words of love, joy, and care as I begin a new chapter

    my life. I have enjoyed serving my church family thi

    year as Adjunct of Children’s Spiritual Formation. I

    thank you for that honor and the opportunity. My

    new journey of ministry is in Clinical Pastoral Educa-

      tion at St. Luke’s hospital in Kansas City. My course

     work began May 31 and will end August 10. CPE is

    full-time program designed to train ministers with a

    special emphasis in pastoral care. When my summer

    studies end, I will begin a year-long residency program

    on Sept. 1.

    I am also happy to announce that I will continue t

    be an active member of First Baptist Church. I am c

      rently commuting to St. Luke’s Hospital from Law-

      rence, so you will continue to see my family and me i

    Sunday School and Worship. I look forward to shari

     with you my experiences of CPE! As a member of th

    church, I plan to work alongside you in ministry, how

      ever, my appointment as an FBC staff member ended

    on May 29, so any questions concerning Children’sSpiritual Formation should be directed to Pastor

    Cheryl—she will be happy to offer assistance.

    Sincerely, Pastor Melissa Lumpkin

    Brian Hayes would like to thank all at FBC for their rece

    prayers. He has had neck surgery and it will take awh

    to recover. His address: 3972 Pleasantburg, Fayette

    All FBC women and

    friends are invited to

    oin-in for a day of

    relaxation and fun!

    Nancy Burt has gra-

    ciously invited us to her home (a few minutes south ofLawrence) for a one-day women’s retreat entitled Fill Your

    Cup, based on Psalm 23:5.

    More details will follow in the coming months.

    Congratulations, Alumna of the Year!

    Our own Rev. Cheryl Harader was one of three recipi-

    ents to receive the 2016 Central Baptist Seminary Alum-

    nus/a of the Year award. At a service on May 13,

    daughter Joanna accepted the award on behalf of hermother (Pastor Cheryl was in Ireland!) and wrote these

     words: ...Cheryl's ministry extends beyond the walls of the

    church. For the most recent ABC-USA Biennial, she helped or- 

     ganize the Festival of Young Preachers. She has essays published

    in two anthologies: “Women at the Well” (Judson Press) and

    “There's a Woman in the Pulpit” (Skylight Paths). 

    Cheryl deeply loves the church and has a particular passion for

    encouraging adolescent girls in how they understand themselves as

    daughters of God, and for encouraging women who serve in profes- 

    sional Christian ministry. Because of these passions, she has gonebeyond her official ministry duties to support women and push the

    broader church. She has served as president of the ABCCR Min- 

    isters' Council, and currently volunteers as the ABCCR Adjunct

     for Women in Ministry. In this position she serves as a mentor to

    women pastors, maintains a blog and Facebook page for Ameri- 

    can Baptist women in ministry, and staffs a Women in Ministry

    booth at the annual meetings.

    Other recipients were Rev. Dr. Wayne Paulsen and Rev.

     Justin Anderson. Congratulations to all!

    Welcome New

    Members!
